tamra & ben (pete too.)

oh, where to begin?!  tamra & ben hold a special place in our hearts because they, like us, have a love for boxer doggies (see below!)  we met up with these two right in the middle of all that nasty weather we'd been having, but strangely enough it stopped raining for their session, and when i say "stopped" i mean the weather cleared for about an hour and a half and then it started raining again!!  the colors were awesome with the leaves and we found some pretty cool spots just for these two.  we had a great time walking around the city, learning about this great couple, and hanging out with their great dog pete (who is about as well behaved as they come, and oh so cute)  tamra and ben are getting married next spring, and we can't wait, it's going to be a blast!!

: )

l. & r.

TOP favorite from their day...just something about it, i love it, love it.

PETE!!!  : )

candice & brian.

oh, how we LOVE our couples!!  when i first talked to candice, she called me from italy!  yes, italy!  you see, both candice & brian are in the military and were stationed over there together (how romantic).  i always love talking to brides-to-be for the first time because they are SO EXCITED, candice being no exception : )  fast forward a few weeks, they're both safe and sound back in the states, but living in different parts of the country planning.  at first, i wasn't sure we'd be able to get a lifestyle session scheduled, but when candice emailed and said they'd be back in the area for a few days with some planning stuff, AND she said it'd be october (because, really, there is no better place to be than the mid-west in the fall, the colors are gorgeous) we were thrilled that we'd be able to get some fun images for them!  we met up in our favorite small town in ohio to spend some time getting to know them, laughing, and capturing who they are (the best part of our job).  candice and brian, you guys are GREAT, and we can't wait to spend your day with you guys! : )

oh, a little fun fact about candice...she's planning on wearing blue manolo blahnik's for the wedding.  i already told her i was going to steal them : )

: )

l. & r.

this is very them, brian making her laugh and her looking all cute and fun : )

i *LOVE* everything about this image...a favorite for sure.

oh...i love this one too...score 1 point for oFp. for finding this rad yellow car : )

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

lauren & mike.

meet lauren & mike...these two are why we love our job so much; genuine people with genuine love.  a funny little story about these two: they drove ALL THE WAY from baltimore, maryland for their session..yup, like an 8 hour road trip...i was REALLY nervous.  as soon as we all said "hi" and hugged, i KNEW their session was going to be special...oh yeah, after i told them to meet at us at starbucks that doesn't exist anymore (oops).  right away we all started laughing and talking, and it felt like we were just hanging out with old friends, which we KNOW these two will turn into : )  in fact, we're going to try to plan a trip to pittsburgh sometime soon!!

much love to you guys.

: )

l. & r.

and if i can say, mike is quite handsome.

these next two are some new favorites...

linnea & ty.

i won't lie...i'm really excited to share these images with you.

this is linnea & ty.

a few adjectives that describe linnea & ty...fun, stylish, quirky, in love, happy.  these are words that i hope you all think of when you see our work and when you meet us.  we met up with these two in a fun, quirky, happy little town and what happened next was "it" that moment when you know you've met two people that just get what we do, they wanted images of there love...and we couldn't have been more happy to deliver. 

: )

l. & r.

i'm having a hard time typing because i'm so *giddy* to share these!

 

 

 

 

a happy little hippie elementary school.

nothing like a big field filled with queen anne's lace, an old barn and two lovely people.  *random fun trivia...some people would call queen anne's lace a weed, i prefer to call it a flower; it's one of my favorites*

jill & scott.

...this is jill & scott (aren't they cute?!)  we had such a great time walking around and laughing with them during their session...we met up with them in cincinnati and found some really great, fun spots to get some kick-butt images (it might be our new favorite place to shoot at it was THAT cool!)  they're both such laid back, totally in love, and so silly (which is our FAVORITE kind of couple!)  they're getting married in just a few weeks, and we can't wait!!

: )

l. & r.

 

totally love the textures in this...

 

the way r. saw this image...

...and the way i saw it. : )   (i love them both.)

we found this awesome little spot, complete with graffiti.

fav from their session : )

: )

 

 

ashley & james.

ashley & james are (and i'm feeling pretty confident with this statement) probably the cutest couple we've ever met.  seriously, they were THIS happy (check out the first image below) their entire session...they were laughing the entire time, and just so happy & giddy with excitement. ashley is one of those people that you just "click" with from the beginning, and james is so kind...we couldn't be MORE thrilled and excited to photograph their big day (which is right around the corner!)

thanks for the laughs you guys!!

: )

l. & r.

...told you, pure happiness.

 

 

we found this fun, but really dirty, alley way...they were both TOTAL troopers!!

cute.

fav from their session : )

mary & sebastian.

...mary & sebastian are getting married in just a few weeks (YAY!) and since they're both in the middle of super busy careers in michigan, we had to act quickly and get their lifestyle session scheduled!!  we met up in indy on a perfect sunday afternoon; lovely blue skies, green grass, and warm sunshine...mary and i share a complete and total love for fashion, while robbie and sebastian quickly hit it off while talking about all things "cameras & photography"...we can not WAIT for their wedding, it's going to be awesome : )

a big thank you to you guys, for making the trip down...we hope you love these!!  can't wait to see you guys in just a few weeks!!

: )

l. & r.

may possibly be my favorite : )

danielle & tim.

...we met up with danielle & tim (and they're super cute doggie, elsie) a few weeks back for their lifestyle engagement session...we all instantly hit it off, and i think we got some really fun images for them : )  they were awesome, even letting us experiment with some fun new locations...we're really excited for their upcoming wedding, so stay tuned for more (after hearing some of the AWESOME details they have planned, we can't wait!!)

: )

lauren & brandon.

we met up with lauren & brandon on the campus of purdue university (where they met & fell in love!) on a chilly day (which is the perfect day for cuddling close!) and had a GREAT time with them, walking around, chatting & laughing, and talking about fun wedding details...they're getting married in october and we can't wait!!  lauren was so very sweet and lovely (and so cute!) and from spending the afternoon with them i can why her and brandon are such a perfect match for each other..
